Oil Rings, do I have a problem?
I was trying to determine if there was an issue to address before I go through the process of reinstalling the engine & connecting everything back up & filling the fluids.
Since I only drove it around a few streets in the neighborhood, I wasn't concentrating on the exhaust so much as noises & rattles, temperature, oil pressure, transmission getting the right gears, steering and such. But no, I hadn't noticed blue smoke while setting timing & idle prior to initial drive.
